Stephen Croone led all scorers with 27 points for the Paladins (2-3), adding seven rebounds and four assists, while Larry Wideman scored 13 points and William Gates, Jr. added 12.

Though they only shot 41.7 percent from the field in the first half, the Hokies were able to take a 31-17 advantage into halftime by holding the Paladins to just 20.8 percent shooting, including a woeful 0-of-6 from 3-point distance.

While Furman shot much better after intermission, making 46.9 percent of its field goal tries, Tech really heated up, connecting on 51.4 percent of its shots from the field and 7-of-16 from beyond the arc. The Paladins could get no closer than nine points in the second half, as the Hokies coasted to the win.
